Lishui 3-day, 2-night travel guide—the budget-friendly, no-admission-fee version is here! The per-person cost is laughably low

🚗Transportation: Self-driving (Jinyun → Songyang → Jingning) Day 1️⃣ Arrive in Jinyun in the afternoon | Local food + Xiandu self-drive registration 1. Arrival and rest Arrive in Jinyun in the afternoon and check into the Guofu Hotel (Wanda Plaza branch) to rest. You can choose your own hotel; I'm just using this one as a reference 2. Night tour of Shizi Street (Jinyun Old Street) √ How to play: Rent a small electric scooter to zip through the county streets and alleys. The night market on Shizi Street is full of local charm √ Must-eat food list: Dongmen time-honored brand sesame cakes, knock-meat soup, local noodles, pickled vegetable cakes, braised duck, and tofu balls (these are local staples, don't miss any of them) 3. Xiandu Scenic Area self-drive registration · Reliable method: After returning to the hotel, contact the owner of any farmhouse or restaurant within the Xiandu Scenic Area, provide your license plate number, and ask them to register it for you. You will be able to drive into the scenic area the next day · Alternative: Before the checkpoint closes at 7:30 AM when the scenic area officially opens, you can drive in without registration (a blessing for early risers) Day 2️⃣ Jinyun Xiandu → Heyang Ancient Residences → Head to Songyang in the evening for check-in Morning | Three main attractions of Xiandu (direct access by car) First stop: Zhutan Mountain (must-visit photo spot 📸) Try to arrive before 7:25 AM to enter before the gate closes. If you can't wake up that early, navigate to Wanghu Farmhouse, park on the side of the road, and walk a few minutes to the core photo spot at the Dingbu Bridge. During holidays, there is a real-life performance of an old farmer herding cattle from 9:30 AM–11:00 AM and 2:30 PM–4:00 PM, every half hour. The early morning without performances is better for capturing the misty water scenery, which is absolutely ethereal Second stop: Yandang Study A trendy photo spot converted from a quarry cave. It's not big, but the light and shadows on sunny days are beautiful, making it perfect for photos. You can also get the creative ice cream Third stop: Xiao Chibi Navigate to the Xiayang Village Party and Mass Service Center. Park at the village entrance, cross the bridge, and turn left to arrive. Free admission Afternoon | Heyang Ancient Residences (free village entry) 1. Navigate to the Northeast Gate parking lot. You can enter the village via a small path without buying a general admission ticket. You only need to purchase a ticket to enter ancestral halls or ancient residences to see the wood carvings and historical sites 2. Highlights: The 32 horse-head walls and the pristine ancient village. It is very uncommercialized and full of local charm, perfect for a leisurely stroll and photos 📷 Evening | Drive to Songyang for check-in Check in at Songyang Dongyangguan Tianyuan Resort Hotel Hotel amenities: The resort is spacious and features a petting zoo, outdoor pool, and indoor playground, making it family-friendly 👨‍👩‍👧. If you're tired, you can have dinner at the resort's eco-restaurant without needing to go out, which is perfect for a relaxing trip 😆 Day 3️⃣ Songyang Ancient Villages → Jingning She Ethnic Village day trip Morning: Yangjiatang Village (very close to the hotel) Visit the century-old "couple trees" at the village entrance 🌳, stroll through the yellow mud ancient village, and easily capture photos that look like the "Potala Palace of Jiangnan". The atmosphere is incredible! For lunch, we had local farm-style dishes in Songyang town. We went to Songyang Weidao, which was affordable and delicious 👍 Afternoon: Jingning Shexiang Zhichuang (She Ethnic Autonomous County) 1. Rent ethnic costumes: The first shop at the entrance has many styles of clothing and headpieces. It costs CNY 30 for a headpiece and outfit. You can also add makeup and a photoshoot, with a 100% success rate for great photos 💃 2. Watch the She ethnic wedding performance. It takes place inside the Shexiang Zhichuang Scenic Area and is lively and fun 🎉 Strolling by the river, we encountered a purple flower field. Even on a cloudy and rainy day, the natural beauty was stunning. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 🌧️💜

[Preface] Don't swipe away just yet, friends ✨ I've been reviewing my post data recently, and dwell time has a significant impact on performance. If you have a moment, please take your time to look through the photos. If not, it's totally fine to swipe away! Fellow Trip.com creators, feel free to leave a comment—let's chat about how to improve our content! ✨ Best time to travel ✅ Top choice: September–November: Autumn in Lishui is incredibly comfortable! The temperature is perfect, and the rice paddies at Yunhe Terraces are slowly turning yellow, covering the mountains in gold. It's perfect for photography and a top choice for shutterbugs. ✅ Second choice: March–May: The spring atmosphere is unmatched! The terraces are gradually filled with water, creating mirror-like surfaces that reflect the clouds and sky. Often accompanied by misty rain, it's full of that classic Jiangnan charm. ❌ Not recommended: June–July: This coincides with Lishui's plum rain season. It's very rainy and damp everywhere, and mountain roads can be slippery, which significantly impacts the travel experience. Must-visit spots Lishui's attractions are quite spread out across several areas, so you can plan your route based on your time and preferences! · Yunhe Terraces: The largest terrace complex in East China! Be sure to catch the sunrise and the sea of clouds. For a relaxing experience, stay at a mountain homestay where you can see the terraces right from your door—the visual impact is stunning. · Jinyun Xiandu: A 5A scenic area where many period dramas are filmed, giving it an ethereal vibe. Don't miss Dinghu Peak and the popular morning scene at Zhutan Mountain featuring an old farmer leading a cow through the mist. · Guyan Huaxiang: The Oujiang River divides this area into Guyan and Huaxiang, which are connected by boat. It has a strong artistic vibe, and you'll often see people sketching. It's perfect for a leisurely day of exploring. · Songyang Ancient Village Cluster: A well-preserved collection of ancient villages in East China. There are over 70 villages, and most don't require an admission ticket! Yangjiatang Village is known as the "Golden Potala Palace," and there's even a Librairie Avant-Garde on a cliff. Every shot is Instagram-worthy. 🍜 Don't miss the local delicacies Every part of Lishui has its own specialty snacks that you must try: · Jinyun Shaobing: Crispy crust with a savory filling of preserved vegetables and pork. You can smell the aroma from far away · Lishui Paojingrou (deep-fried lean meat): A local specialty snack. The meat is firm, fragrant, and crispy · Suichang spicy ribs: Sweet and spicy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They go perfectly with rice · Lishui stream fish: Small fish from the Oujiang River. The meat is fresh and tender, and there are many ways to prepare them · Lishui Paofan (rice soup): A common home-cooked meal for locals. Leftover rice is boiled with vegetables and minced meat—simple and comforting 🏨 How to choose accommodation Choose where to stay based on your itinerary's focus. Here's a breakdown: · Lishui city center: Convenient transportation with plenty of dining and accommodation options. It's a great starting or ending point for your trip. I recommend staying near Wandi Plaza. · Yunhe Terraces: If your goal is to see the sunrise and sea of clouds, choose a mountain homestay where you can wake up to terrace views. · Guyan Huaxiang: Riverside homestays are the top choice. Falling asleep to the sound of the Oujiang River at night is a wonderful experience. · Songyang: If you want to experience the quiet atmosphere of ancient villages, stay at a homestay right inside one of the villages. 🗺️ Suggested itinerary ▫️3-day short trip Day 1: Arrive in Lishui > Visit Guyan Huaxiang, stay in Huaxiang Day 2: Visit Jinyun Xiandu, depart for Yunhe Terraces in the afternoon, stay at a terrace homestay Day 3: Wake up early for the terrace sunrise > Return in the afternoon ▫️4-day relaxed trip Day 1: Arrive in Lishui > Visit Guyan Huaxiang, stay in the city Day 2: Visit Jinyun Xiandu, stay in Xiandu Day 3: Head to Yunhe Terraces, stay at a mountain homestay Day 4: Wake up early for the terrace sunrise > Visit Songyang ancient villages on the way back in the afternoon > Return

Jinyun Ancient Village: Home to the stone lions gifted by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang! — traveler post in Jinyun

Jinyun Ancient Village: Home to the stone lions gifted by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

1️⃣ Location📍 Located in Heyang Village, Xinjian Town, Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. It is not far from Jinyun County and shares the same tourist route as the Xiandu Scenic Area. 2️⃣ Getting there🚗 · High-speed rail (recommended): Take it to Jinyun West Station. There are direct trains from Jinan, such as G1734 (approx. 6 hours 13 mins) and G181 (approx. 6 hours 17 mins), with second-class seats costing around 581.5–647.5 CNY. After arriving, take a taxi to the ancient village. · Driving: Navigate directly to "Heyang Ancient Residences." Parking at the village entrance is free. · Getting around: The ancient village is compact and best explored on foot. 3️⃣ Layout✅ The main highlights are concentrated in the Yuan Dynasty layout of "one street and five alleys." You can see the best of it in about 2 hours on foot: · Bashi Gate and Old Street: The village landmark, built to commemorate eight scholars from the Song and Yuan dynasties. The stone lions gifted by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang are in front of the gate. Behind the gate is an old street over 150 meters long. · Ancient Ancestral Halls: The wood carvings in Xuzhu Gong Ancestral Hall are exquisite, like an art museum. Hegong Te Ancestral Hall is a rare filial piety hall; the wood-carved sika deer are worth a close look. · Horse-head Wall Cluster: Around Daqiao Road, 32 horse-head walls are reflected in the pond, making it the best spot for ink-wash style photos. · Unique Door Lintels: Look for residences like "Xungui Yingyue." The door lintels feature the four characters of the "farming and reading family tradition" created by the people of Heyang, which is quite interesting. 4️⃣ Price💰 · Admission: Usually 40 CNY on-site, or about 35 CNY if bought online in advance. Half-price for students/seniors with ID. · Hidden perk: Usually free entry after 5:30 PM, perfect for sunset and night photography. · Tips to avoid traps: Ignore the overpriced "joint tickets" or machine-printed "rubbings" sold on the roadside. The real highlights are in the open old buildings and residential courtyards. 5️⃣ Food & Drink🍽️ · Must-try: Jinyun baked wheaten cake (best when freshly baked on the street), pounded meat soup, and local noodles. · Meals: There are farm-style restaurants around the village entrance where you can eat dishes like braised pork with bamboo shoots and braised creek fish. There are very few businesses inside the scenic area, so it's recommended to eat at your guesthouse or the village entrance. · Reminder: Some farm-style restaurants open based on their own schedule, so it's best to confirm ahead of time during meal hours. 6️⃣ Accommodation🏠 · Stay in the village (recommended): Experience the peace and quiet of the morning and evening without tourists. Heyang Memory Homestay has a good reputation; it's near the horse-head walls, the host is welcoming, and the terrace view is great, though soundproofing might be average. There are also accommodations converted from old houses like Shende Hall. · Stay in the county/Xiandu: More options, but you'll miss the atmosphere of the ancient village at dawn and dusk. 7️⃣ Nearby attractions🗺️ · Xiandu Scenic Area: About 12–13 km away, featuring the iconic Dinghu Peak. You can visit it on the same trip. · Huanglong Mountain: Near Xinjian Town, with strange rocks and an ancient temple. Admission is about 35 CNY (online price). · Jianchuan Flower Sea: Suitable for seasonal flower viewing. 8️⃣ Tips⚠️ · Wear comfortable shoes: The village has many stone slab and cobblestone roads, so high heels will be very painful. · Manage expectations: There are still original residents in the village, mixed with some modern self-built houses. It's not a completely movie-set-like scene, so you'll need to find angles for photos. · Respect the residents: Many elderly people live in the old houses. It's best to smile and gesture before taking photos, and do not intrude into private homes. · Mosquito protection: The ancient village has many waterways and dense vegetation, so it's recommended to bring mosquito repellent in summer.

Wow! This newly opened 5-star hotel is so upscale. Address: Jinyun, Lishui - Chunshang·Cloud Secret Resort Hotel. Key highlights

Wow! This newly opened 5-star hotel is so upscale❤️ 📍Address: Chunshang·Cloud Secret Resort Hotel, Jinyun, Lishui ✅ Key highlights 1. Tucked away in the mountains, backed by rolling bamboo forests and green hills. The architecture is terraced along the mountainside, featuring stone facades and floor-to-ceiling windows. When the lights come on in the evening, the ambiance is incredible—every photo is picture-perfect. 2. The overall style is understated, mountain-luxe. The public areas feature high-quality materials, with wood accents and textured walls, creating a quiet and sophisticated feel—perfect for a city escape. 3. Many rooms feature viewing terraces, allowing you to take in the mountain views right from your bed. The air is fresh, and the soundproofing is excellent. Waking up to the sound of birds in the morning is the ultimate relaxation. 4. Located not far from the main Jinyun scenic area, it’s a convenient place to stay after visiting Dinghu Peak in Xiandu. ⚠️ Stay tips · There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and it gets chilly at night, so remember to bring a light jacket. · It is humid in the mountains, and the paths in the resort can be slippery on rainy days, so please watch your step. · It gets busy on weekends and holidays, so we recommend booking in advance. · There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so bring mosquito repellent with you. 🏨 Hotel amenities · Mountain-view rooms with terraces · Luxe lobby and lounge area, casual tea break area · Mountain lawn photo spots · Restaurant serving local specialties · Leisure walking trails 💬 My stay experience I discovered this newly opened resort hotel while visiting Jinyun, and it completely changed my impression of mountain resorts. The terraced buildings are nestled among green mountains and bamboo forests, far from the noise of the city. The lobby's decor is sophisticated, calm, and soothing. The view from the room's terrace is fantastic; sitting there in the evening, feeling the mountain breeze and watching the twilight, I was so comfortable I didn't want to check out. The hotel is very quiet, perfect for unwinding. Returning here to rest after exploring the Xiandu scenic area instantly relieved my travel fatigue. Quick tip: The signal on the mountain can be spotty at times; wake up early if you want to see the mountain mist. Suitable for: Visitors to Xiandu scenic area, couples on vacation, trips with friends, those who enjoy quiet mountain getaways, and travelers looking for aesthetic photo opportunities. Not suitable for: Travelers looking for bustling commercial districts or large-scale family entertainment facilities.

Xiandu Scenic Area

It's worth a visit. The scenic area is large, and there are park bus stops that stop at each attraction, which is very convenient. Since I went during the off-season, the experience was still quite good.

小冬瓜小冬瓜

Heyang Ancient Dwellings

The scenic area was very quiet after the long holiday, perfect for photography enthusiasts. I took many photos I love. The villagers and staff were very welcoming and polite. What impressed me most was the village restrooms—they were incredibly clean, cleaner than any I've seen in major tourist attractions. A truly worthwhile trip; highly recommended.

Dinghu Peak

#Jinyun Xiandu Scenic Area Dinghu Peak rises abruptly from the ground like a pillar supporting the sky, shrouded in mist like a fairyland. Before Zhutan Mountain, an old farmer leads his ox across a stone bridge; every frame is a picturesque ink painting. Strolling through Niweng Cave and Xiao Chibi, the cliff carvings tell the story of a thousand years of cultural heritage. The Yellow Emperor's Temple is solemn and dignified, with the rising incense smoke evoking images of the Xuanyuan sacrificial ceremony. This place is imbued with spirit; every step reveals a new scene, washing away all worldly worries—truly a "fairyland"!

Jiaolong Grand Canyon

If you want to escape the crowded places during the May holiday, Jiaolong Grand Canyon is an excellent choice. It was not crowded at all, offering a peaceful environment. Reaching the top requires extra energy to climb the numerous stairs, so bringing water with you is advisable. There is only one store where you can buy food and drinks and that is almost at the top. The glass bridge at the top is actually not that long, but the panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery is breathtaking. I felt at peace and relaxed while taking in the scenery. To thoroughly explore the area, plan for at least three hours, including time for walking, resting, and enjoying the views.

Xiandu Temple

The scenery is undeniably stunning, definitely worthy of a 5A rating, but this 5A scenic area was riddled with people smoking, rendering the smoking ban virtually ineffective. Also, the number of drones at Dingbu Bridge in Zhutan Mountain was as numerous as flies – equally disgusting. Shouldn't these popular photo spots be off-limits to drones? There are so many people, and the photos are filled with drones.

Zhutan Mountain

Zhutan Mountain, located in the Jinyun Xiandu Scenic Area in Lishui, Zhejiang Province, is a stunning scenic spot that blends stunning natural beauty with rich cultural heritage. Famous for its panoramic views of Dinghu Peak, it has served as a filming location for popular television series such as "The Journey of Flower" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." The scenic area's Xiandi Causeway offers a perfect vantage point for viewing Dinghu Peak's reflection. Strolling along, you'll admire swaying willows and picturesque scenery. The stone slab bridge (Banyan Bridge) here is a photographer's paradise, especially at dawn and dusk, when mist shrouds the area, creating a hazy effect of light and shadow. On weekends, you can witness the iconic scene of "The Old Farmer Leading the Cow," a scene that feels like walking into a poem or painting. Besides its natural beauty, Zhutan Mountain is also steeped in rich history and culture. It was named after the Song Dynasty Neo-Confucianist Zhu Xi, who once lectured while boating here. Remains of this area include Huiweng Pavilion and the Nine Dragon Wall. The Nine Dragon Wall, a unique banded jointed geological structure resembling a coiled dragon, is worth a closer look. 📌 Useful Tips · The scenic area is open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. · A recommended visit time is 1-2 hours. · If you want to take photos of the "Old Farmer Leading the Cow" performance, please note that this performance is usually only performed on weekends. · The stone bridge is narrow and slippery, so please be careful when walking.

Yanxia Stone Village

In the mountains, the local Didi driver recommended it, saying it was suitable for photography, so I went there decisively. The temperature in the mountains is lower than Xiandu, but because of this, there are fewer people and the scenery is beautiful. The only regret is that the Baizhangtan Waterfall has a relatively small flow due to the frozen water. If the water is large, it must be spectacular!
